Chez Mal Brasserie - Reading

I had a fantastic experience at the Malmaison restaurant and would highly recommend it. Even though we arrived a bit earlier than our reservation, we were seated promptly. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The cocktails were delicious and the wine they recommended perfectly complemented our main courses. I especially enjoyed the vanilla crème brulee, although it was a bit too large for me to finish after my steak. The restaurant had a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely be recommending it to others and will be returning in the future.

This is my second visit to this amazing hotel. The location is fabulous and convenient. The staff is exceptional and goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. The customer service is excellent. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast. Anna and Matt, who were serving, were very attentive. I am looking forward to making this hotel a regular stop whenever I travel.

This is a lovely place to swing by for a drink or bite to eat. The team working behind the bar are always on hand to help, give advice and have a good chat with. Alana, Yvette and Anna are absolutely awesome and excellent ambassadors of the company. The atmosphere is relaxed and classy, and the food is lovely. Great place!

A warm welcome by the Mal team., especially Dianne upon arrival at reception. Yvette looked after us in the brasserie with warmth and friendliness of long lost friends. We dined in the restaurant for two dinners across the weekend. Yvette was full of menu recommendations and attentive to our needs. Thank you Yvette, a real asset to Chez Mal and clearly running a friendly, welcoming and efficient team!

The Bar Grill had a nice ambiance, though it was a bit dimly lit. The service was attentive and the food was decent, slightly above average for pub fare. Overall, it met expectations but didn't quite exceed them.
